Quicktime plugin issues

I am getting IE6 shutdowns because of this plugin. I took a look at the plugin folder and it contains:

ntqtplugin.dll
ntqtplugin1.dll thru 7
and
quicktimeplugin.class


I also looked into the IE6 Manage Add-ons window and there are 2 identical looking Quicktime ActiveX files called QTPlugin.ocx. It's funny that when I looked into the DPF folder, there was no Quicktime file there. Also, (maybe OT) there are 2 identical Java Files in there with the same version and related file name.

Is this right or are one or more files corrupted/needing updating or removal?

Thanks, Larry

 

Hi Pete,

If I uninstall QT, will it take the plugins with it? If it does, will reinstalling it also reinstall the plugins or is it done on the fly as needed?

Conversely, can I delete the plugins without issue? If so, how do I get them back (on the fly)?

Lastly, is there a way to update them as they stand? No can do from IE Manage Add-Ons, the button to do so is gray.

I will ck on the QT version. It won't let me have this window open to do so, so.... "I'll be back ".

I'm back. I tried to update QT and it kept getting Runtime Buffer Overun errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled QT 7.4. Now, I instead get std Windows "QuickTime has encountered an error and must close... ". Time to reboot and clean up. We'll see what happens over time.
